In much the same way we’ve lost the war on speeding. Speed limits are largely considered optional and the technology for speed governors or smarter ISA devices exists but isn’t widely required. Culturally it’s totally normal to go 5-10mph over the limit
People will say it's the lack of enforcement, and that's a factor, but we also have technology to limit phone use while driving and our automakers and leaders refuse to implement it. It's a choice to allow distracted driving. And all the deaths and injuries that result are because of that choice.
We’ve 100% lost the war on using phones while driving and it’s the worst.

Here's Jeff Jacoby illustrating that conservative punditry 101 is making up someone or something to be mad at and then basing an entire column around it

Great quote from Mayor Bhalla of Hoboken: "When we say 'No parking' in front of a fire hydrant, do people say, 'You’re taking away a parking spot?' We need to start looking at daylighting the same way. That’s not a space to park, because of safety reasons."
